Posted on many courtroom walls in Varanasi is a simple sign, written in Hindi and English, which reads: "Litigant’s Interest Is Supreme." In actuality, Moog argues, the interests of litigants in India’s civil courts are often largely forgotten—lost in the ongoing political conflict among judges, attorneys, and ministerial staff. Drawing upon organizational theory, this book offers a comprehensive analysis of the internal political struggles in India’s district courts and their impact upon the entire judicial process. It focuses upon the reasons for the multiple administrative problems (prolonged delays, huge backlog of pending cases, unenforceable decisions) that have become synonymous with litigation in India.
